Chapter One:
I forget half my childhood
At camp half blood, life was quiet. Percy has just returned from a quest with some weird kid called Carter Kane, and get this, the Egyptian gods were real as well. Honestly at this point it shouldn't be surprising. You know, keeping up being the goofy one when your dad is the personification of death. You know, you're training with your best friend in the arena, and someone points at you and goes
"Oh look, there's the really creepy one. D' you know her dad is Thanatos."
I mean yes. I am a bit of a loner, and yes, my best friend is a child of Hades, but you know what.
I HAVE SEVEN FRIENDS. Let's see, Nico is my best friend, I mean, we are practically inseparable, but the only person who Nico likes more than me, is of course Will, who is also my best friend, we are kinda like thing one, two and ummmm….. The cat in the hat? Yeah that got away from me, and then of course I'm friends with Percy, Annabeth, and Leo, and then my last friend is the wolf I found in the woods. Siren. I call her that because you can't hear her howl, but it really hurts your ears. Anyway, let's think back to the start... Wait not yet. My name is Lilly. Ok now...
I mean, I am 16 years old, but I don't remember my life past nine, I'm sure I had a childhood, I just don't remember it. As I said, my dad is Thanatos, the personification of death, and a lot of my power comes from metaphor. See, unless I make an impact on someone's life, it doesn't have to be a big one, just for example, being their friend, or even beating of losing to them in battle, (whichever one is less frequent to the person)they don't remember me, which is hard, because I meet a person who I've met before, hoping to be their friend, and they don't remember anything. And so coming from that I have power over memory. I can edit it, remove memory, add someone else's memories to another person, except my own. I can cloak myself so someone doesn't see me, because "you never see death coming" and I can show people how they die. Yeah that one is not such a crowd pleaser, because it will break you. You will be driven to insanity, afraid of everything, so after I beat someone in battle by showing them their death, I just remove the memory of their death from their mind. Oh and did I mention, everything I touches dies. I haven't even had my first kiss. But I can sort of control it with a pair of fingerless gloves Chiron have me. So if you see a bouquet of dead flowers somewhere, think of me. Sorry. Anyway, (again) let's get back to the story of how I met my family. (Oh and my boyfriend) lol.
On my ninth birthday, I woke up in London. I lived in a rather lovely apartment on my own. No one ever noticed me. Back then I didn't know they wouldn't remember me. No one at school knew me. They did. But didn't. Yeah, sad I know. That's when I met Will. He was sent because for some reason, we had an empathy link, but little did we know, this small link was part of something much bigger. Will brought me back to camp half blood, and I met Nico, we hit it off straight away, he had a kind of deathly parent as well, and so it makes sense, I love Will and Nico, and they are ridiculously cute but I will admit, when I first met Will, I had a bit of a crush on him, and after I told them they took me everywhere which is when we became death kids and sunshine. You see, after meeting Nico, Chiron shifted the link from Will to Nico, after a special request. And we can turn it on and off at will (not that Will) sounds kinda weird, that's because it is. I learnt to use my powers, and fell in love with doctor who. Leave me alone. And every Saturday evening, Me, Nico and Will all binge watch doctor who. I mean we've seen them all and can't see the new ones because the signal will attract monsters, and we don't want that do we. Yes Whovians, we watch classic who. Oh and my special locket, it has a simple picture of me and my mum and brother as little children but you know how it goes. You know, when I feel sad, I just need to look at that, just reminds me I had a childhood.
